Mrs.
Berriault. Nearer Berry Point is the site of a former Berry home (not
at all
connected with Berriault, who sometimes call themselves Berry.) Jeremiah

Almost across from Jerry Brownrigg's at shore is
a cabin recently built by
Leslie Brownrigg of St. Andrews, and following easterly on that siteside
is the site
of a large house owned by John Dawson, Sr. It was burned, so was the
large Taggart
house. Some of the Dawson family were Lucinda, Mrs. Woodworth, first
of Calais:
John of Chicago: Gilbert of Vanceboro, and James of St. Andrews who
for some
years lived in John McMullin house (Spear cottage). Another daughter,
Eliza Ann,
married Isaac Hanson, who died young, leaving six young daughters.
In after years
Mrs. Hanson (Eliza Ann) married Daniel Cameron. Lucinda Dawson (Mrs.
Woodworth)
in Jamaica Plains, Mass. came with daughter, also son Jack and built
a cottage in
Bocabec Cove. A few years ago that was sold to Mr. & Mrs. Earl
McCullough of Mass.
who dismantled the house and built a nice bungalow down by the shore.
Next to
her on the hill, Chester Brownrigg, son of John B. built a cozy home
with a two
story cabin nearer to shore to rent to summer people. He died suddenly
several
years ago and his wife, Margaret Cunningham, is now Mrs. Reginald Clarke.
Jack Woodworth became an Army doctor in West Indies and Pacific Coast
Stations,
retiring in Boston. His wife, a wealthy Curtis of Boston, had bought
Hardwood
Island, where his only son Fayette lived for some years. Dr. Jack had
purchased
almost all the property of other Dawson heirs. On the death of the
Doctor, his
wife gave Hardwood Island, Woodworth Cottage and almost all the property
to
Fayette. He sold Hardwood Island to John Campbell, the cottage to Mr.
& Mrs.
Earl McCullough and moved to Ontario. His sister and mother live in
Mass.
Julia Dawson, another daughter, married John McMullin and lived in
the big
Dawson house many years, with May, eldest daughter, then moved to Jamaica
Plains,
Mass. where sister Mrs. Woodworth lived. Misfortune overtook them.
One of the
younger boys became too venturesome and crossed a railroad track after
the gates
had been let down and was killed. Then came an epidemic of diptheria,
which took
all the family but May and Norman, next to her. This included Oliver
(Ollie)
oldest of family, Wilbert about twelve and two little girls I went
to school with.
Mr. McMullin, a fine ship carpenter, came out of the illness with a
badly
disabled arm, but later came back to Bocabec and built the McMullin
cottage, now
owned by grandson, Roger Spear. Both Mr. & Mrs. McMullin died there.
Directly across the road from Chesterís is the home his father John
Brownrigg
built, now owned by one of his sons, Dr. Leslie Brownrigg, St. Stephen,
oldest
of family. Leslie died in 1967. Wilbert, retired schoolteacher in Woodstock,
